Trouble on the horizon: what ENISA’s Report tells us about the threat of data breaches

Last month, the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) published its 2017 ‘Threat Landscape Report’. The Report comments on general trends in the area of cybercrime, and identifies and gathers data on 15 top “cyber-threats”. Many of the threats identified in the Report are designed to target vulnerable individuals. However, one particularly topical cyber threat draws concern both from individuals and organisations: the increasing threat of large scale data breaches.
